It shows they are trying to position themselves as something different than the WWE or TNA.

Mmm-hmm! And quite frankly TNA's positioning themselves as being exactly like WWE; if you don't believe me check the list of some of the more recent TNA main events.

WWE's insisting on making ECW just like SmackDown and RAW instead of being an "alternative" choice, which was why ECW was so damn popular in the first place.

ROH and other federations like the NWA are really the only "alternative" choices out there, if you define alternative as "being fundamentally different than the other available choices". If the NWA wants to go in a classic direction (without, I agree, going to the no-moves-off-the-top, use a spinning-toe-hold as a finisher route), then hell-- I'm all for it! They need to do something to make themselves... you know... relevant again.

My favorite belts had to be the IC title that keeps getting mentioned with the wrong era date (it actually went Savage to Rock) and the 1980s-2000 something WWF tag team titles. I liked how they were very distinct in an almost square like shape. I can't stand the current IC title, and I don't know if I really actually hate it, or it's just because I miss the old IC title so much. I believe it was retired the night after Wrestlemania XIV. I wish they would go back to that one. And I can't wait for them to go back to a somewhat normal belt for the WWE title someday.

They did retire it then, right as the debuted the new IC and WWF belt, with the blue strap that Austin, Rock, and HHH all wore during their first title reigns. Mankind too, I believe. I really like that belt, but it only lasted until HHH was given the Undisputed belt in 2002.

The NWA World Championship (the one that Christian Cage was stripped of) will be decided on September 1st, in a match between Bryan Danielson and Brent Albright. I imagine they might have a new belt on display there as well.
